Sports car rallye
Blind students to direct
Bu RICH LOVETT
About 30 blind junior high and high school students will serve as navigators in the Jayhawk Sports Car Club's Braille Rallye this Sunday at 12:30 p.m. in Kansas City.
Robert Entriken, San Francisco, Calif., senior and club president, said the third annual rallye, which covers approximately 70 miles in and around the city, will include boys and girls from the Kansas School for the Blind in Kansas City.
THE OBJECT OF the rallye will be to cover an exact distance in a certain length of time over an unknown course, guided only by the blind and partially sighted navigators.
At the start of the course each blind navigator will be given instructions written in Braille, and each partially sighted student will read from copy printed in letters about one-fourth inch high. Covering the course will take about two hours. Entriken said.
Usually, he said, navigators in this type of
rallye use stopwatches, calculating tables, slide rules and other aids so the car will pass checkpoints at the correct time. In this case the drivers will depend solely on the navigators' ability to interpret the instruction sheets.
The last checkpoint in the rallye will be the Agricultural Hall of Fame on U.S. 40 about seven miles west of the School for the Blind. There the students will be treated to a picnic lunch donated in part by Dillon's supermarket and the Dr. Pepper Bottling Co. of Lawrence.
"They'll also probably spend considerable time 'looking' at the cars," Entriken said. "They feel them from front to back, and I've been told jokingly they can say not only what kind of car it is but what shape it's in."
Brass dash plaques will be given to all participants. In addition to ordinary print, a line of Braille will be deeply etched into the top of the plaques saying "Rallye '67." Trophies for rally winners will be donated by Lawrence merchants.
